What are Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharides (AMP) ?
AMP is the Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharide molecule of the Aloe Plant. The Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharides are The Healing Agents of the Aloe Leaf.
AMP Aloe - Let's Break it Down:
Aloe - We all know what this is by now.
Mucilage is a gummy or sticky substance obtained from certain plants.
Polysaccharides are carbohydrates that are made of long chains of mannose and glucose monosaccharide molecules joined by glycosidic bonds; hence making them "complex".
Therefore; Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharides are gummy, sticky, complex joined saccharide chains from the Aloe Gel of the Aloe Leaf. And these chains have a remarkable ability to inhibit the immune system's inflammatory response, reducing painful symptoms of autoimmune diseases - inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, and allowing for a regeneration of more healthy tissue.
When you buy an Aloe product, you want one that specifies it contains AMP. Products such as Aloe Juice, Aloe Gel and Whole Leaf Aloe may very well contain some AMP, but they most usually contain other parts of the aloe leaf as well, such as Aloe Latex. Aloe Latex is a harsh stimulant laxative that can irritate and worsen the conditions for which many people are searching relief.
Products that contain ONLY the AMP from the Aloe Plant cost a whole lot more than other Aloe products; the reason why is due to the intricate laboratory processes involved in segregating these Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharide Chains from the Aloe Leaf. But these processes are well worth the result: Pure unadulterated AMP without any of the other unnecessary, if not harmful, ingredients of the Aloe Leaf!
These AMP chains vary in the number of the joined monosaccharide molecules they contain.
OK, but what does this do for me? See Below:
CHAIN SIZE Small
NUMBER OF MOLECULES 50-600
This chain size helps reduce inflammation from inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. This chain has also shown potential to help reduce blood sugar in Type I and Type II Diabetes.
CHAIN SIZE Medium
NUMBER OF MOLECULES up to 1,500
Mucilaginous Polysaccharides are very effective intracellular antioxidants and free radical scavengers, absorbed in every cell in the body; key attributes in the prevention and therapy of arteriosclerosis, heart disease and Parkinson's disease.
CHAIN SIZE Large
NUMBER OF MOLECULES up to 5,000
The range of molecules in this chain have a direct anti-bacterial and anti-viral effect, which is key in the number of newly appearing infectious diseases and the virulence (due to long term use of antibiotics) of older infectious diseases.
CHAIN SIZE Very Large
NUMBER OF MOLECULES up to 9,000
The molecules in these very large chains serve to regulate the immune system, which can have a powerful healing effect on AIDS, cancer and many other immune system disorders. It is also this large molecule that causes the body to produce a protein called tumor necrosis factor, which is destructive to cells showing abnormally rapid growth.
